The only consolation in this statement is the last line. Recent history shows that army reserves may not be easily "mobilized" for the task of occupation and ethnic cleansing.

Here is the text of the Israeli Cabinet decision released Friday morning after an all-night session to decide on thier next steps against the Palestinian people. In essence, it is a declaration of war against the Palestinian people. Note, any kind of resistance against zionist apartheid, occupation, and oppression is considered to be acts of "terrorism," and when the term "defeat the Palestinian terror infrastructure" is used, it means to crush the entire Palestinian population into submission. ------------
The Israeli Declaration - March 29, 2002
"The Cabinet convened in special session tonight against the background of a serious escalation in Palestinian terrorism.
"The Cabinet approved the principles of a wide-ranging plan of action against Palestinian terrorism.
"Israel will work to defeat the Palestinian terror infrastructure in all its parts and ingredients, and to that end it will conduct a wide-ranging operation to achieve that goal.
"(Palestinian leader Yasser) Arafat, who set up a coalition of terror against Israel, is an enemy and at this stage will be isolated.
"The Cabinet approved mobilization of army reserves as a result of the operational requirements."
